THE interstate commerce bill is; perhaps, but an experiment. For one thing it extends over the country the short haul restriction which has been on trial in Massachusetts, un- der which no road may charge more for haul ing or delivering freight at a station than 1t does for carrying it to a competing point be- yond The railways claim that this is an in- justice to them, as one official expresses it, requiring them to do retail business at the rate that they serve customers who are en- titled to wholesale rates. It may be that the law carried out and obeyed in good faith will be blessing to the roads. The great multi plying of railroads to-day is not because there are not roads enough to do the busi- ness, but that hundreds of towns, realizing the disadvantages under which they exist, as compared with other neighboring towns, are striving hard to secure equal advantages by securing the building of more roads. Take the case of Stafford, we'll served in every re- spect as regards freight, except that the rates put her at disadvantage, as compared with Palmer or Willimantic. So various schemes are being discussed to equalize this by get ting new railroad outlets. Common sense would say that her one railroad would do better to retain all the freighting business of Stafford at such rates as are given to compet- ing points than te later divide it at such rates with another road, with the added disadvan- tage of having the enmity of the people whom it had driven to the expense of securing a competing line.

Hanging is not growing in popularity, and the execution of women by that ugly method is not calculated to increase the public liking for the law. But Roxalana Druse, the woman who was hung Monday in the county jail at Herkimer, New York, was unquestionably as cold-hearted and deliberate murderer as anyone, of either sex, that ever paid the penalty of that crime on the gallows. She killed, very calculatingly, her mild-mannered husband, and then chopped up and burned the body -her daughter keeping guard at the door while the dreadful work was going on. The daughter goes to prison for life, and the mother swings. If anybody ever de. served hanging, surely that woman did. If the scene is revolting, and unworthy oi our civilization, it is the law itself that makes it so,

THE earthquakes which so sadly shook up the southern United States last fall, were far less disastrous than those which last week devastated the southern portions of Italy, where immense destruction of buildings took place, and, worst of all, over 2,OOO people were crushed in the ruins. A panic swept over the country, and most of the population fed from the afflicted district, thus adding to the destitution, and to the burdens imposed upon the charitable of the contiguous country.
